4. The following is a description of the causal relationship between storms, the behavior of burglars and cats, and house alarms:

Stormy nights are rare. Burglary is also rare, and if it is a stormy night, burglars are likely to stay at home (burglars don’t like going out in storms). Cats don’t like storms either, and if there is a storm, they like to go inside. The alarm on your house is designed to be triggered if a burglar breaks into your house, but sometimes it can be set off by your cat coming into the house, and sometimes it might not be triggered even if a burglar breaks in (it could be faulty or the burglar might be very good).

a. Define the topology of a Bayesian network that encodes these causal relationships.

b. The table below lists a set of instances from the house alarm domain.

Using the data in this table, create the conditional probability tables

(CPTs) for the network you created in part

(a) of this question

c. What value will the Bayesian network predict for ALARM given that there is both a burglar and a cat in the house but there is no storm.

d. What value will the Bayesian network predict for ALARM given that there is a storm but we don’t know if a burglar has broken in or where the cat is?
